Slim Chickens is becoming a go-to for our household when the opportunity arises! This location in Hendersonville is the closest to us on the east side of the city, so when we make our way anywhere remotely near, we always stop to grab a few tenders! While Slim Chickens is far from life-altering, it is consistent, fresh and tasty! Never had any issues with our food orders, which normally consist of tender meals, a side, drink and sauce. I always side my tenders with fried okra, and the fact that I can do this makes me beyond happy! While my order stays consistent, I usually switch up the dipping sauces. They have quite a list that I have yet to make it all the way through, but we are trying. They cook to order here, so the food is always piping hot and solid when it hits the table. Only gripe with this location is the service can be hit and miss at the counter. Never rude, but forgetful or disinterested. Overall, we enjoy Slim Chickens and are happy to see them popping up everywhere! read more

Hmmmmmm.... Something isn't right!!! i should've followed my first mind and not order from this place. I thought it was just my imagination...but I'm starting to believe that the food they're serving is old. There is no way the food I ordered was made fresh to order. The chicken was tough, old tasting and very unpleasant to taste!!! Perhaps they're old food to those going through the drive through. The soda also taste like it had a metal aftertaste. read more

I ordered drinks from Slim Chickens through Postmates and received 6 beverages that all had visible mold in them. Unfortunately, this made the entire order unsafe to consume. I've reported it and documented the issue with photos. I'm sharing this so others are aware and can double-check their orders. Hoping this was an isolated incident and that food safety standards are addressed. read more

Long wait and then my chicken sandwich was cold while fries were hot? I overheard them say "81 is waiting!" right before they brought my order. Seems like my sandwich sat there forgotten ir maybe waiting too long for fries?? I won't be coming back. This was my first visit here. read more

Need to improve their drink order accuracy. The drive thru rep asked me 3 times and still gave me wrong drink.

Even though there was a long line, I didn't find myself waiting in the drive thru for too long! I had a free cayenne chicken sandwich just for downloading their app, and I also ordered a side of Mac and cheese. The spices on the chicken are delicious, and I loved the soft bun! They have so many sauce flavors to try, and a cute patio to enjoy your meal on! Feels like elevated fast food read more

Unfortunately, my decision one night to try Slim Chickens to compare it to Canes was a poor one. Upon entry, it was loud, dirty and unprofessional. All of the employees back's were turned towards me behind the register and it took them a good 5 minutes to even notice me or look up from their phones. The cashier was not knowledgeable and extremely rude. After ordering and almost immediately regretting not leaving before I did, the cashier walked away without giving me my drink cup. I stood there waiting and finally just grabbed one myself and got myself a drink while I waited. The cashier had the audacity to walk over to me and scold me about grabbing a cup (that I paid for and was standing there waiting for). I got my food and it didn't even come close to canes. I honestly don't have one good thing to say about this place. read more

I've tried Slim Chickens 3 times since it opened and every time felt that the food was fine, but not spectacular. I like all of the sauce options, but the tenders are really small. Hubby literally thought they were large nuggets because he ate them in two bites. You can get the sauce on the side for dipping, or you can have them tossed. The first time I got tenders I had sauce on the side and felt there wasn't enough included for all of them. Last time I ordered them, I had them tossed, but since it was pickup, the breading on the tenders was soggy by the time I got home to eat. Maybe it would be fine if I ate them there, which I may try sometime after the pandemic. I've also tried the cayenne ranch chicken sandwich, which was good but not spicy at all. On a positive note, the staff is very friendly and service is pretty quick, even when there's a line. Ordering on their app is easy and their curbside pickup is very efficient. They have spots in front designated for curbside; when you pull in, a staff member comes out to get your name, then they bring out your order. Both times I've used curbside my order was ready promptly. Last time I went, the nice lady who brought out my order saw my dog was in the car with me and gave him a dog treat! read more

I've been to slim chickens a few times, tonight I'm very disappointed. After waiting about 10 mins for my order and spending $64 on my order to get home 15 mins later to find out no fries was in any of the 5 & 5's I ordered. I called the store of course no answer. Very dissatisfied Update: I would like to say that I'm very pleased at how my issue was resolved. Thank you Lisa for reaching out to me after my bad experience fort making things right. I'm forever grateful. Not many businesses would do this. Y'all go get you some Slim Chickens-!! read more

First visit and not that impressed. The food is good but not so good I'll be running back. It's standard chicken. Nothing special or that stands out. The dinning room was mostly empty with several people leaning behind the counter. After we ordered we went to sit and every table was dirty. We were still walking around when they brought our food out trying to find a place to sit. They took out good back and cleaned a table for us. Instead of cleansing the rest of the tables they just left them. Restaurant needs cleaning better and customer service needs work. read more

Slim Chickens - Smokey Cheddar Wrap - Chicken Wings Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

Maybe a 3.5, possibly a 4 if the rest of the menu is solid. I gave the 5 piece tender meal a go and the chicken is crispy but not too greasy, the fries are super crispy and well flavored, and the sauces were particularly good. The best of the 4 sauces I tried was by far the "Korean BBQ" one which really tastes like its name. Clean dining area, fast and friendly service, and decent prices. I'm not sure if the tenders themselves were far and away better than say Zaxby's (certainly better than Chicfila and their nasty breading fall off too sweet ones) but I'd definitely come back. I need to try the wings next to make a more rounded appraisal of the place. read more

I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich with a drink. Very Disappointed in the service. The sandwich was cold, bottom bun was very hard like it was microwaved a few times beforehand, super greasy all over, and the chicken wasn't even spicy. Got me good tonight. Sticking to Popeyes chicken sandwich from now on...never does me wrong. read more

Slim Chickens - Slim Chicken Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich - Chicken Wings Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

Super basic fried chicken and cold sides. Wasn't very impressed. I think there are much better fast food fried chicken places.

This is just your standard greasy, dry chicken with some degree of crispness outside, but not nearly enough. It's not worth driving to Hendersonville just to eat at a glorified fast food place. The fries are okay, resembling McDonald's. But this chicken joint is nothing to write home about and pales in comparison to Moore's and others. read more

Hello, I was in the area a few days ago to check out some food places and I want to say I am very disgusted with the service there. I was wanting Raising Canes but saw they were not opened in the area yet, so we decided on Slim for food. Normally I have a good experience there but this was the worse. We witnessed the workers giving the workers from Canes a hard time and just treating them very rudely. They basically denied them service because of their uniforms. They told them that they do not need to coming in there with that kind of stuff on. I also noticed the manager locked a girl out when it looked like she was in need of the bathroom. It is just very disgusting that they would act that way to a fellow fast food worker. They did not the pick the location for their restaurant. Also, the place was very nasty and sticky. The tea dispenser was dirty and empty. Trash was piled up and the tables were dirty. The workers were rude and did not want to help with anything. I can not wait until Raising Canes open so I can go somewhere nice and fresh. This place needs some help to keep them in business. read more

Has to be my favorite place to eat at in Tennessee!!! Their tenders and fries are outstanding! They serve Quality food. I dont think you will ever be disappointed. Their chicken is always cooked fresh and their ranch is absolutely boss. I highly recommend read more

Slim Chickens - Buffalo chicken sandwich that is an 11/10! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

Website says curbside is available until 11:30 when you go to place the order, just got told that curbside after 10 means you have to go through the drive thru. So what's the point of ordering curbside?! Lol And of course, after having to wait 25 minutes in the drive thru, our food was sitting in a bag on a counter and everything was cold. read more

Literally the best chicken sandwich I've ever had! My husband got the chicken tenders and coleslaw it was awesome too! We both got milkshakes to go and they were great! The employees were super nice & the restaurant was clean! read more

It's kind of like a Nashville hot chicken place, but it's not. They don't season their breading, but they have a lot of wet dipping sauces to choose from. It's a mix of Zaxby's and Hattie B's. The chicken is good as are the fries. The mac and cheese is the best of any fast food places like KFC, and Bar-B-Cutie. Not as good as Hattie B's, but still very good. I like Slim Chickens a little more than Zaxby's. Talking solely about chicken, Chick-fil-A still reigns. The outside eating area is nice. I didn't have a dessert, but their jar desserts look really good. We'll be back. read more

Slim Chickens - The mango hananero wasn't hot, but had good flavor. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

The food here is great but this location consistently forgets to pack dessert items. The 3 times we have been here, we have had to ask for the dessert jar because it was never given to us and we were never told that we must ask for it in order to get it. It has never been included in our takeout bag of food. This last time, we remembered to ask for the dessert jar but when we got home, we realized that a cookie we had ordered was not included. If we returned I know they would gladly give us the cookie if we showed our receipt but it's not worth the drive for a $0.99 treat. I wish there was somewhere printed on the takeout receipts to ask for the desserts before we leave. Besides this, the location seems to overwork some of their staff. I saw one of their lovely staff members running around, placing the takeout orders on the shelves, taking out curbside pickup orders, and looking very stressed yet she was smiling and was happy answer one of our questions. I wish I knew her name so I can credit her in this review with being a very hardworking employee. read more

Very good food and quick service. The staff was also very friendly. It is a fast food style restarting, but the food was very good.

The food is good, but it's really about those sauces. There are more than enough flavors and they amp up anything you put them on. I recommend getting extra sauce for dipping fries. If you've never had chicken with waffles this is a good place fo try it. Their waffle is fluffy and filling, topped with three chicken tenders. Syrup and butter served on the side. Be sure to add a sauce of your choosing, the sweet and savory will dance on your tongue. You're welcome read more

Slim Chickens - Chicken and waffles with syrup and Sriracha garlic sauce - Chicken Wings Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

I've been twice now. This is a good, reasonably priced restaurant. For $8.99 you can get 5 decent sized chicken tenders, fries, and a drink. The tenders were fresh, hot, and juicy. They have a large selection of sauces. First time there I met the owner. He recommended 2 sauces that were outstanding. Yesterday I couldn't remember what they were, but the 2 I got were good. Fresh lemonade is outstanding. For the price, an excellent choice. You won't leave hungry. read more

I was so pissed when I learned that Hendersonville was getting a new restaurant and it would be...yet another fried chicken place. Because that's just what Hendersonville needs. I went here for lunch and it was fairly busy, but my order was taken immediately. I visited the restroom and it was clean. I got my drink and sat down and waited about 10 minutes to get my food. I tried the buffalo chicken wrap, which was disappointing on the spicy scale. They did give me two ranches upon request, at no extra charge. The fries were pretty good too. At the end of the day, nothing remarkable--it's another chicken place. read more

Slim Chickens - Buffalo Chicken Wrap and Fries - Chicken Wings Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

I honestly have no complaints. I got the 3 chicken tenders meal, it comes with a medium drink, Texas toast, fries, and dipping sauce of your choice which there are at least 10 to choose from. First off we got our food maybe 4 minutes after we ordered so super quick. The chicken tenders were very moist and juicy. The fries to me personally were a little salty but that's more so preferential. The Texas toast was awesome, better than Zaxbys. And there were plenty of drink options! Sweet and unsweet tea, peach tea, lemonade, and soft drink products. Also they have a drive through! Slim Chickens is definitely worth the visit. I'll have to try other things on the menu and do and update but chicken fingers are a good first option. read more

Ordered through drive-thru and was shocked at what I saw. Female working over food with long uncovered hanging blonde hair. Grace was working drive through as she pulled fries with her bare hands to eat in the window. And then handed us our foods as she dusted the salt from her finger.... Seriously disgusting!! read more

So this place, not gonna lie... I crave like once a week. The chicken tenders are amazing, the fries.. the wings which I usually get the Parmesan garlic, the coleslaw (which most places it's a miss, this was def. a hit) The dessert jars are so good (and great to keep to use as drinking glasses after). I've done seating inside and drive thru and for the amount of people that are in line or in the restaurant, they sure do get everyone served pretty quickly.. I brought my father who is picky and he loved the food so much.. he texted me weeks later wanting more. Haha very good place! read more

The agm lisa refused to allow me to buy chicken strips Ala cart she insisted that both my husband and I (he ordered man n cheese bowl) had to get the meals bc her system wouldn't allow her to ring it in otherwise . The food is delicious the service is normally stellar but missed the mark tonight read more

Slim Chickens disappointed today. I order through postmates and food was missing... a lot of food. I called the store to let them know about my issue and they could care less. They said it's playmate problema and not theirs. I get it, but I was still a Slim Chickens customer because I ordered their food. There was no empathy, just passing the buck. They didn't want to check if maybe a bag stayed behind or if they didn't make it at all... they didn't care. Now 3 people don't have food, we don't have our appetizers and no dessert. read more
